Exegesis
The clause ukhehilkho {וּכְהִלְכוֹ | u-ḵə-hil-kho} ‘and as he was going,’ combined with amar {אָמַר | ’a-mar} ‘he said,’ uses the prepositional infinitive to emphasize simultaneous ongoing speech.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:33
And the king was shaken and went up to the upper room over the gate and wept ; and as he was going, he said, “My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you—Absalom, my son, my son!”
